Deputy Minister Kampyongo Sued For Child Maintenance

HOME affairs deputy minister Stephen Kampyongo has been sued for allegedly failing to maintain his child.
But Kampyongo, who is also Shiwang’andu member of parliament, expressed shock that he has been sued when the child is in his custody.

This is in a case before senior Chilenje Local Court magistrate In’utu Mulenga, who sat with George Kaoma, where Stella Tembo sued Kampyongo for child maintenance.

When the case was called, Kampyongo, the defendant, was present but Tembo was not before court.
The marshal told court that there was no report regarding the whereabouts of Tembo.
Magistrate Mulenga asked Kampyongo on the whereabouts of Tembo but he said he did not know.

She also asked Kampyongo to confirm if he had a child with Tembo, to which he responded in the affirmative and said the child was eight years old.

Magistrate Mulenga also told the defendant that he had been sued for child maintenance by Tembo.
And Kampyongo told the court that he was shocked that he had been taken to court for child maintenance yet he was keeping the child.

Kampyongo said time allowing, arrangements could be made to make the child available as proof to the court.
Magistrate Mulenga also wondered why Tembo sued Kampyongo for child maintenance if he was taking care of the child.

In response, Kampyongo said he did not understand the motive behind his ex-lover’s action to sue him.
He explained that he had the child outside wedlock before he got married.

“And I have been sponsoring the child for school and other things. It is difficult to understand how I have been brought here,” Kampyongo said.

He complained about magistrate Mulenga’s decision to put the case on hold to allow Tembo to be in attendance.
Kampyongo said it would be injustice to him to put the case on hold just because Tembo was not before court.
But magistrate Mulenga said the case could not be closed prematurely as something could have happened to prevent Tembo from attending court.

She said there was need to follow the procedures of court before the case was closed.
Kampyongo insisted that the case be disposed of as procedures were clear if the other party was not available, adding that it was injustice for Tembo to take him to court and not make herself available.

    Hon Minister, you do not “sponsor” your own child, you take care of them. I am seriously doubting the claim that he lives with you if you think of your support or care as “sponsorship”…ndeloleshafye!!

    Gold digger Zambian prostitutes! She thinks he should also be responsible for buying her those ridiculous synthetic colored wigs Zambian women are fond of wearing just because he has a child with her even if the child is living with the father!
